Problem Starting PP on today's Ride
Posted: Fri Jun 14, 2019 6:38 pm
My PP BLE has worked perfectly for many months but at the start of today's ride after pressing the start button all I got was N/A for power on my Wahoo Elemnt. I looked at the connected sensors on the Elemnt and the speed and cadence showed up but no PP. I pressed the start button again and still no connection.
I went ahead and started the ride thinking the PP would connect but after a few tenths of a mile no connection. I pressed the button a number of times and then the PP must've went into the O&B mode. It counted up to 50, I stopped, pressed the button again and started riding. It counted up to 100 and then went to 0. For a minute or two watts showed on the Elemnt and then the PP went back to counting up from 1 to 50 again. At 50 I stopped and pressed the button again and it went to 100 and back to 0 where it started counting up again. It did this several times and would not stop so I turned it off by pressing the button 5 times. After some time I pressed the button to start the PP again and the O&B started again, repeating several times until I turned it off again and stopped messing with it for the rest of the ride.
Any idea what happened? I don't think I changed my usual startup routine: press the PP button, spin the front wheel to wake the speed sensor, spin the cranks to wake the cadence sensor. By the time I walk from garage to start the ride the Elemnt shows the power at 0, speed at 0 and cadence at 0. I press the Elemnt start ride and within a few seconds power shows up on the Elemnt screen. But not today.
After the ride I connected the PP to Isaac and when it started downloading previous rides it asked if I wanted to save new sensor ID's. At first I said no but the next ride download it asked again and I said yes. After all rides downloaded (not today's though) I checked the sensor ID's and they are same ones from previous checks.
I know there isn't a phone app to see what the active profile is and what it's contents are but it sure would come in handy for times like this. Because I don't have problems I forgot the various color codes for the blinking LED. I guess I am spoiled by the Wahoo Elemnt phone app and settings.
